Sean Hunt has offered a kidney to Kelsang Gama. 40,000 British pounds sterling needs to be raised to fund Kelsang Gama's kidney transplant. This is for the travel expenses, actual surgery, pre-op assessment, and post-op recovery time. The surgery will be scheduled, hopefully for very early in 2026 through the kindness of those who wish to support this procedure. Sean met with Gama's kidney specialist in Kuala Lumpur in November to discuss the transplant and to do extensive blood testing to confirm compatibility. Dr. Tan assured him that he has personal knowledge of/experience with elderly donors and the results have been very positive.

Kelsang Gama has been on dialysis for 21 years and the normal life expectancy on dialysis is 5 - 10 years. She definitely needs a kidney transplant to extend her life and her meditation practise.

Sean Hunt, a Kadampa Buddhist practitioner for 31 years came to know Kelsang Gama over the last few years through visiting Malaysia to do three-month personal meditation retreats in the hills near Penang, and spending a little time at Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Centre where Kelsang Gama lives in Penang. Kelsang Gama has been a Kadampa practitioner for 23 years and a Kadampa Buddhist nun for 18 years.

We appreciate donations if you are able to do so and, most importantly, please share this page on your social media so that many people will also have the opportunity to support Kelsang Gama's kidney transplant.
